Naah mate.Here's my 2 cent
• First and foremost, no need to panic; China isn't going to attack anytime soon. History has been witness to it, whenever we panic we start wasting money. Ordering Victrix Scorpio, AK-203 instead of TAR, we were all set to order Sprut-SD.
• Engines; doesn't matter China is flying 6th gen or 7th...our priority is just engines. Aircrafts are built around an engine, as soon as it's there everything else just falls into their places. So do whatever is necessary, buy EJ200/M88 IPR, hire their scientist for consultancy but get a PROPER Kaveri as soon as possible.
They keyword here is proper, full fledged 100kN engine; can't afford the usual dry, wet, Mk-1, Mk-1A shenanigans anymore. Sh*t has already hit the fan.
• Work on AMCA without engines; not a big deal, in WW2 USA was assembling bombers without engines as there were issues with engines, but they didn't waste time waiting for engines to come. No need to proceed with the existing design of AMCA, no point in getting an assembly line that'll produce already obsolete fighters. Redesign it as soon as possible, if nothing else then just increase the magazine depth. Assembly jigs are yet to be made, it's the only window we've for modification. Once those are made you can't change the design.
The threat now requires an AHCA, AMCA with 4 BVR-AAMs won't cut through.
• Force IAF and IN to ORCA , no need to waste money and time in Mk-1, Mk-1A, Mk-2, MMRCA...ORCA is a good design can be used by IAF without even a proper air-force version. Fast track is as soon as possible, get another production line. 6th gen doesn't mean 4th gen has become obsolete, from China to USA everyone has plans to induct a new 4th gen fighter to boost squadron number. We'll too need something to replace the mess of MiGs, Jags, Mirages.
• AWACS fleet, still not interested? Yesterday only I mentioned how easy it is to make one and we're still doing a pinch of Netra, some Phalcon, few Airbus...select any plane, slap a radar and order atleast two squadrons of it. This might be the biggest defence we can create for an attacking PLA group.
• And as you said, try joining some international 6th gen program. Accept the fact that they're ahead of us in terms of technology and try collaborating with them. Even if we don't buy the actual plane we can get bits and pieces of different technologies to incorporate them into our next generations of planes.
• Stop Super Sukhoi, enough of toying with Super Sukhoi since I don't know how many years so now stop that circus. Simply ask private industry to present their bids on how much advanced they can make Su-30MkIs. They do ScrewdriverGiri, ToT, comes up with in-house research doesn't matter, it's up to them. You just ensure you get maximum bang for your buck.
Start slapping the biggest possible Uttam configuration on Sukhois as soon as possible, we already have SDFR based Astra-3 just need a radar that'll complement it and you'll have a formidable defence.
We will only be doing Kadi Ninda
